The news.


The Richmond and Petersburg lines.

The mud keeps everything at a standstill in the armies before Richmond and Petersburg. Grant still holds a heavy force at Hatcher's run, ready to launch in the direction of the Southside road on the return of the first dry weather.


The enemy reported at Staunton.

We stated on yesterday that the enemy, in heavy force, believed to be mostly cavalry, were advancing up the Valley towards Staunton. As yet we have received no official information on the subject of their advance.


From the South.

We hear nothing from Sherman, Schofield or Schimmelfenning. It is believed that bottomless and impassable mud surrounds them all.


General Singleton and Judge Hughes.

General Singleton and Judge Hughes, the Yankee commercial agents, and not peace commissioners, have arrived in the city, and are stopping at the Spotswood Hotel.
